Keeping up with the Hendersons
Oakland native, and Athletics great Rickey Henderson was the victim of an annoyingly long zoom to the stands during tonight's boring and obvious Tigers/A's game.
The announcers talked up Rickey's careers, his stolen bases, his uncanny ability to read a pitcher and his leadoff homeruns.
They left out this little gem that can be found in Rickey's wikipedia entry:
If the A's keep stranding runners the way they have tonight, they might want to replicate any of the pre-game shenanigans that worked for Henderson.

Henderson has also been reported to take practice swings in the locker room in front of a mirror completely naked while repeatedly saying "Rickey's the best! You tha man, Rickey!"
